and the spirit that psompted Il. We
yenture 10 say that nothing that has
bsan given and nothing that yin Be
given will Be bestowed With more pro-
found sympathy o. With noblsr mslives
than this o8srinR Of the men 10 when q

DANGEROUS toll. We commend the ex-
ampla Of these men 10 ell the working
men Ut Seattle and elsewhere e. worthy
Of emulation. This is an opportunity
to demonstrate the sympathy that ali
must feel for those Who have lost NOS
only their means Of suppoFt. but those
relatives Who we're deareat TO them en-
earth. Many Of the unfortunate vie
ttms Who met With sueh an untinely
cod were foreigners, and u 10 probable
that their families nos hnd themselves

relatives and deprived Of the suppeFt
and assistance of fathers, sons and
brothers. To thess unfoFtunates the
assurances Of sympathy from eur miners
and vogkinemen and the oifeFn Of sub

much pleasure 40 10 will 500.
Aside from the offer Of the Newcastle

eFous. Donations have baen received Of
